Sanjay Leela Bhansali`s ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’ was the most anticipated project of the month. Since its release, the series has been garnering a lot of attention. Actor Indresh Malik, who played the role of Ustad ji, in an exclusive chat with midday.com, talks about his famous nath scene, doing an intimate sequence with Jason Shah, working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali once again, and more.
The actor started the conversation by sharing that he feels proud he got another chance to work with Bhansali after a cameo in ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’. The actor also revealed that in ‘Heeramandi’, Ustadji`s role was originally small but then it went on. He said, “Ustadji was originally a 20-day job which went on and on for approximately more than two years. And I am and will always remain in awe of Sanjay Leela Bhansali. And who is not? He is a genius. I got a lot of love from him. I never got scolded. I tried to understand his eyes. He helped me to open up, to spread, to create, to improvise, to add nuances. It was his confidence in me that helped me.”
